In fact, I'd recommend the curl method, as it seems like the libUrl method doesn't seem to get all the headers, anyway.

For this url: "http://marksmith.on-rev.com/msbass/instruments.html";
the liburl method got:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:46:17 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

whereas the curl method got:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635

Dave (Cragg) - is there a better way to do a HEAD request using libUrl?

Best,

Sometimes this seems to take quite a few seconds, and I don't know why (I think libUrl doesn't like non-GET/POST requests), but if you have curl available,
